I wanted to share some highlights of a backyard baby shower luncheon thrown by some friends of mine. They had numerous simple touches which combined to make a very nice party for the Mom-to-be.
The Mom-to-be was waiting to learn the baby's gender, so the color scheme of the party was pastel pink, blue and yellow. Tables were adorned with blue and pink, and centerpieces were made with yellow and white flowers. 
Here's a close-up of the centerpieces. Each vase had yellow, blue, and pink ribbons around it. 
Buffet lunch was served on a sweet embroidered table cloth. On the menu?Roll-ups (with veggie and meat options)
Fruit salad
Chicken salad
Green salad
The roll-ups were a perfect main course for this casual luncheon. They were prepared the night before, which allowed for a low stress morning preparations and didn't require use of the oven or stove on a hot summer day. They also make an impressive display. Isn’t it fun to use a cake stand for a course beside dessert? 
The strawberry topiary was definitely a stand out at the buffet table. Not only are strawberries a delicious summer treat, but the display is stunning and adds another height dimension to the table. This site has some DIY instructions for making a topiary for your next bash.
Pink lemonade punch and water in jugs were lined up over striped fabric squares that tied in the display with the day's color scheme.
Chocolate cupcakes, frosted in pink and blue, and adorned with little “diaper pins.” Too cute!
